Accommodation

Booking accommodation

Scholarship participants

The SUN Office will book accommodation for scholarship participants in the CEU Residence Center, a modern, air-conditioned hostel about a 40-45-minute ride (bus+metro) away from CEU’s teaching site.
The booking will be made for default dates (arrival: one day before the course starts, departure: the day after the course finishes).

An accommodation grant (including breakfast) covers housing expenses in a single or shared double room (with two single beds or a bunk bed) with a bathroom, (depending on the type of awarded grant) only for the course period, and can only be used in the hotel designated for the course.

Participants are expected to cover extra days, extra persons, and room upgrades. In case you wish to bring a guest or wish to book an extended stay, you need to cover all extra expenses.

Please contact Sarolta Szabo (szabos@ceu.edu) with modification or cancellation requests.

Self-funded participants

Those covering their own accommodation have a choice to

book their accommodation themselves in the CEU Residence Center (located at a 45-minute commute from CEU’s teaching site) in our Housing form or
find a hotel room/rent an apartment in Budapest themselves

We will provide a link to the Housing Form after the notification of acceptance where you can indicate your preference.

The Residence staff will send a confirmation to those booking their room through the form.

Self-funded participants (and their guests) will need to transfer a 2-night non-refundable deposit in advance.

If you wish to modify your choice later, you will be able to do so by sending an email to sunreservation@ceu.edu.

If you cancel your participation in the program, please remember to cancel your room booking as well.

Vacancies in town between July 19-20-21, 2024
Budapest will host the Formula-1 Race between July 19-20-21, 2024. Therefore, a couple of days before, during, and after the Race, room rates at hotels and apartments will be much higher than usual, and hotel rooms may be difficult to book for that period.
We advise non-scholarship participants of the below courses to book their accommodation as soon as possible:

Climate Nexus: Interlinking energy, agriculture, and water
Demographic Imaginaries: Soft Authoritarianism, Majoritarian Identity Politics, and Demographic Anxieties
Geospatial Technologies for Building Climate Resilience and Climate Change Adaptation
Holocaust Testimonies and Their Afterlives
